Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no specific 'setup' required for the Rab Torque Jacket as it is a ready-to-wear garment. Compatibility is broad, making it suitable for layering with various base layers and mid-layers depending on the weather conditions. The jacket is designed for use in conjunction with climbing harnesses and other climbing gear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Line dry the jacket or tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the DWR coating.
  3. Re-Proofing: To maintain the DWR finish, re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable DWR treatment. Follow the product instructions for best results.
  4. Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. These can degrade the fabric and reduce the effectiveness of the DWR treatment.
  5. Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
